Our Story
Himalayan Medics was founded by Dr. Nima Namgyal Sherpa with a vision to provide advanced training in wilderness medicine, focusing on the unique challenges of remote and high-altitude environments. From the beginning, we aimed to equip individuals with the critical skills needed to handle medical emergencies in some of the most demanding terrains. Through collaborations with leading organizations like NOLS Wilderness Medicine, we offer certification courses such as Wilderness First Responder (WFR), ensuring that our participants are well-prepared for real-world scenarios.
Our work became even more vital in the aftermath of the 2015 Nepal earthquakes, when we played a pivotal role in delivering medical aid and relief to affected communities. That experience reinforced our commitment to community service and disaster response, shaping the core values that continue to drive Himalayan Medics today.
